I collect baseball cards. I know I'm a dork but I have lived with that fact for quite some time.
But I am a dork with goals. I am trying to acquire an autograph of every person to play an inning for my favorite team, the Baltimore Orioles. I will be sharing the trials and tribulations of card collecting, stories from players and my thoughts on the hobby. I will try to be as entertaining as possible and hopefully you can watch me attain my goal.

The Quest

The Baltimore Orioles have been in town since '54 and have had over 900 men don their uniform. My goal is to obtain a signed card of each player. If you have something I need, or see something you want, don't be shy, we can make a deal.

50/50 Love

I found a hound willing to do a 50/50 on former Orioles catcher Terry Kennedy and jumped at the opportunity. Kennedy is currently the Manager of the Portland Beavers, AAA affiliates of the San Diego Padres, and apparently a good signer. I sent my cards late in April and received less than two weeks later, not a bad turnaround considering a fan got them signed for me.

Terry Kennedy 1991 Orioles Crown #237

Terry Kennedy 1991 Fleer #263

I decided to have the 91 Fleer signed because I love that set, and so do other autograph collectors. Hopefully someone out there will have a need to him and can help with my collection as well. I also have a 1988 Score card signed by Kennedy that is now for trade with the acquisition of his Crown card. Anyone need?
